What would you have done if you were Justin Sun and the owner of Steemit Inc. Would you attract more investors for the future and developers?

in hive-185836 •  3 years ago  (edited)

And at the same time, we need to ask ourselves what we can do for our beloved platform

Justin Sun withdrew billions from a defi platform, you can read the news from Sat, 10/30/2021 - 15:02 here

Does he have any thoughts on investing more in steem / steemit and lifting steem to new heights?

And what does Steemit Inc. think next?

Steemit team with @steemcurator01 and booming accounts do a great job of helping others build their own SP

But we miss steemit blog and the roadmap that was and we could communicate with them

What do you think, how can we get a roadmap together with @justinsun and Steemit Inc. and market steem / steemit further to attract more investors and developers now

If you are a developer, join the debate here and come up with your ideas

The time has come to build our own steem power

I have a few things to add to this actually.

  1. To start off, all of us witnesses have been running version 0.23.1 of Steemd for over a year now. However, it is still not part of the master branch. I found myself looking at the wrong steemd code a few weeks ago until @steemchiller clarified that I indeed was looking at the older code.
  2. I feel that we need to make more people aware of the witnesses and their role in Steem. While people who have interacted with me know where to find me, there are numerous technical queries that go unanswered. For example, a couple of days ago, one user(@steemegg) expressed his concerns about the Tron bandwidth fees on @steemitblog's comment section. However, this comment was buried underneath a ton of other comments. I'm sure there are numerous other developers with queries that get buried beneath a lot of other comments. This kind of pushes developers from contributing to the platform.
  3. There are a few buggy features/api's on Steemit and hivemind right now. One thing that comes into my mind is the Search feature on Steemit which does not seem to be indexed properly(I'm guessing here) for the past 6 months. Like @steemchiller says, Steemit is Steem's flagship product. We cannot have this overlooked for such a long period of time.
  4. Finally, when someone new comes to steemit.com for the very first time, they land on the main trending page. We all know that this page is mainly plagued with bot-voted posts. A few days ago, I was having a chat with few witnesses as well as a few Mods from WOX community. This might be a bit tricky to implement, but if we had another filter that would disregard the bot votes and consider just the community votes for the post rankings, and make that the landing page, that might also be great for Steemit as a whole.

Eager to see what you guys think about this.

Hola @starlord28,
Yo soy nueva en la plataforma y no puedo aportar mucho al debate sin embargo tienes tanta razón

  • (2) Yo aun no entiendo muy bien como funcionan los testigos.
  • (3) Cuando trate de buscar publicaciones que me hablaran de como funciona la plataforma fue muy difícil conseguirlo, lo logre buscando en Google y este me trajo de nuevo a Steemit a algún post de hace 4 años. Se que hay una sección de preguntas sobre Steemit, que descubrí luego y no contesto muchas incongnitas.
  • si tuviéramos otro filtro que ignorara los votos del bot y considerara solo los votos de la comunidad para las clasificaciones de publicaciones, y la convirtiera en la página de destino, eso también podría ser excelente para Steemit en su conjunto.

(4) Me gusta esta idea, hay muy buenas publicaciones que se pasan por alto sin siquiera un voto o comentario.

Esta es mi humilde opinión.
Saludos 😊

I support bot-voted posts filtering... but currently steemcurators also behive as bots.

They curate only posts which were selected for them by others - say 5 posts per community inspite of real quantity and real quality posts.

None from steemcurators realy care about steemeans and a quality. These guys care only about their curation rewards.

Sorry, wrote in the wrong place :)

Lots of great content here and I truly agree with @the-gorilla in much of what he writes! I feel like the arrival of Tron and Justin Sun made most people passive, and it left people waiting for things to happen from above.

Now there is a problem, nobody is doing things to improve the platform. Of course, you have content creators like yourself (@xpilar) and also the great Steemit Academy, which are great for producing content on the platform. But the platform itself isn't being developed, and that is a pity.

I totally agree with the fact that the bid-bots are ruining a lot, but we are human beings, so if we can earn much more from bid-bots like UPVU and others, we do so... but it doesn't serve the well-being of the platform itself.

However, change will only take place if the main developers actually start to do something and maybe do some forks and make changes happen. Since the hard-fork with Hive, that platform has done lots of stuff and tried to improve the platform, while Steemit has just remained at the very same location.

Hello, I have already expressed my thoughts on this in this article. There I wrote that Steemit for Justin San is like a suitcase without a handle, it's hard to carry, and it's a shame to give up.

Not only developers should be involved in the development of the platform. In my country there is a difficult and exhausting war on corruption. This war is not being waged by anti-corruption services, but by civil society. Who are we on this platform? We are a civil society.

Each of us can join the development of the platform. Everyone knows how to do something. I'm not a programmer, but I could make a Ukrainian-language interface for Steemit. Someone could advertise it. Creating a referral program would attract new users. The best example of teamwork is Wikipedia.

We need an initiative group of whales like you and the most active, productive users.

Wow I have read from numerous comments on this post and almost everyone wants the best for steemit blog chain, I will say we should do what ever needs to be done for our dear steemit to be at the top rankings of all blogchain platform. We should work in one accord. To the moon 🌙

hello xpilar
very good question, maybe i will make it with a story in my blog

regards

You can do that and add the link here

As a developer, I like to follow the work of other projects and their actions. I can say that Steemit needs improvements, changes, innovation. Since I got here I have not witnessed any interesting changes other than the implementation of tron ​​in the wallet and the new publication editor (which by the way was removed a few days ago due to low acceptance), so changes are clearly needed, see a Steemit each more intuitive and attractive for everyone since the current interface is more designed for skilled users on the web, and lately common people have been added. In my opinion, bidvotes are not bad at all, Steemit needs variety, attract the interest of all kinds of people, bidvotes open the doors to people interested in acquiring STEEM. In spite of this, if I am in favor that these services should follow certain standards.

After read all of these interesting comments I can say that Steemit has a shine future, but we all need to keep together 💪🏻 Congratulations @xpilar for all great work you are doing and @starlord28 with their current development activities

Thank's for your feedback @alejos7ven
Removing bid bots is not the way to go, but I agree that some rules are needed and all bid bots should have a blacklist

I'm not a developer but I've been around for some years now and I could say investors are important but then, it sometimes appears difficult to keep the platform decentralized when investors gain much power and that has been one of the problems around here for some time.

As for @justinsun I personally do not think steemit nor steem sounds big to him at the moment but then, there could be some future plans we never can tell but we around can always make still better as far and as long as Steemit lives!

Unfortunately nothing happens on Steemit very sadly.
So much has to be done and nothing happens.
So that people don't run away from Steemit in heaps, upvotes are constantly thrown around.

We need a new user interface with more options. We need swap functions NFT connections.
More ways to get in and out of the tokens. Own trading platform with more options. Sign in with a goggle and Facebook Instagram account. Share its content from facebook instagram to steem etc.
A live chat at Steemit would also be great, where you can invite friends and talk to them about your post or help you offer.
One idea chases the next but first a start has to be made on steem nothing happens absolutely nothing.

Steemit might not want a blog to be more than just a picture and text. If this continues, people will get bored. Steemit has to be more than a blog I think that's what people want too.

Sorry, I had to let go of stress. @steemit @justinsun @doit-something

If I were running Steemit, I would try to see if there was a way to get on board (or in front of) the subscriber payment trends in the current internet economy (the Patreon or Substack models). The "newsletter" trend is hot right now, it seems to me that Steemit is kind of like 80% of the way to being a viable newsletter platform, I would see if there's a way to get that last 20%, or maybe even better do some bizdev relationships to partner with an existing platform to integrate crypto into their model. (I don't know enough about encryption, would there be a way to tweak the blockchain to support encrypted posts that are only readable by subscribers?).

I'd consider trying to support the "off-chain upvote" idea I explained here.

I'd try to fix the economy. I'm not 100% sure, but I suspect bid-bots make things purely inflationary. I think there's a case to could be made that anything that's automated is "pollution" of the proof-of-brain value proposition. Also, if the funds to the DAO aren't going to be used it seems like a shame to put the funds there, and without a more egalitarian distribution of SP it seems like DAO funding will have a big "playing favorites" problem. The 50/50 curation/author split should also be looked at -- either tweak the ratio or maybe cap the rewards algorithm so that every vote by a big account isn't essentially a 50% self-vote (although the >$1 SBD does change that to some degree). The "convergent linear" thing should also be looked at, the alleged goal was to hurt stealth farming but it's not clear to me that small, new users aren't the biggest losers. Maybe add reverse-conversions so people can benefit from >$1 SBD and help drive it towards a $1 price from above.

Personally I think it would be useful to add some more historical-querying capabilities to the API. The projects I've tried to work on keep running into the problem that I essentially need to scrape the entire chain to build a local database of historical information in order to do the analysis I'm interested in.

i like some points too but not all :)

Thank you @danmaruschak for your feedback, you have mamge good points here

question: for what exactly people would pay money on a subscription model?
for smds Diary game posts? ;))

What kind of useful and helpful (outside the Steemit) context are posted on Steemit on the daily basis?

It seems like you are blending two different issues, who currently posts what here and what the platform is capable of. Substack posts are essentially blog posts, and at a technical level most of them could just as easily be steem posts.

This post has been featured in the latest edition of Steem News...

Thank you @pennsif

We need more 'ordinary' users, the ones not interested in crypto. Basically, the average Facebook user, that will come here instead of going there, and that will post about their day and life. Currently Steem is 'scary' for many people, they will they'll somehow lose money just by joining, as silly as it sounds.

I have included this post in the 19th issue of Steem News Magazine For Steemit Platform | November 07, 2021.

Thank you @amryksr

Thanks @xpilar

It may be appropriate to draw up an appeal to Steemit.Inc based on the results of this discussion. In it you can give our common vision of the future of the platform, offer to update the Roadmap, give our other suggestions. Most likely it will not give any results but will show that the platform is alive, that there are people who are not indifferent to the future of Steemit, who offer their help, who want to participate in its development, in its management.

You post is nominated for „Wold of xpilar“ Community Support Program, @booming account upvote. Only the posts that are not cross posted, original and posted from community page are eligible. If your post gets approval, then you get upvote within few days. Good luck!

Thank you @stef1

Menarik, jika saya jadi pengembang, di steemit, saya akan membentuk team kratif agar steemit bisa di gunakam layaknya media sosial, seperti FB atau IG 🙏😃
